Your Security and Safety at Qantas are Paramount
Enhanced security measures for passengers flying to the UK & US
The UK Government has introduced a range of additional security measures at the boarding gate for flights into the UK.
Customers travelling on flights from Dubai to the UK who are randomly selected to undergo additional screening may be required to remove footwear and from hand luggage all electrical equipment including portable electronic devices such as laptops, iPads, smart phones, and cameras larger than a standard mobile phone and power up the device to demonstrate functionality.
Passengers are advised to ensure that their electronic devices are charged before travel. Devices that do not power on may not be permitted onboard the aircraft.

The Transport Security Administration in the United States have implemented enhanced security measures at select overseas airports with direct flights to the U.S.
While Qantas flights to the U.S. are not currently impacted, passengers with an onward connection from an airport where the enhanced security measures apply may be required to comply with the additional screening.
